Chapter 279 - Among Us, Who Did You Think
Elvis could tell from Gu Mengmeng’s expression that she wanted to know what had happened in the past.
Although those memories were not great, and it would seem bloody to open one’s own wounds, but he had no other person to open up to and tell these things to other than Gu Mengmeng.
Elvis sighed, asking, “From When do you want to begin to hear from?”
Gu Mengmeng placed her tiny hand on Elvis’ chest, covering his left breast and feeling his heartbeat. She leaned lovingly in his arms, replying gently, “From whenever you are willing to share with me that would not make you upset.”
Elvis thought long and hard about his past. As he hugged Gu Mengmeng, he suddenly felt that it was not worth it to bring up the past, that used to cause numerous sleepless nights, hatred in his heart and killing of his desires. After having Gu Mengmeng, he felt those tough days were nothing but a nightmare that had passed with the snap of a finger, so blurry that it seemed insignificant.
Since they were on the topic on Lea, just temporarily put aside the tough past, and not bring up the unhappy events of the past. If Xiaomeng knew, it would only affect her mood.
At that thought, Elvis hugged Gu Mengmeng’s shoulders, saying slowly, “I’ll start, from the day I met Lea.”
“At that time, I was still a lone ranger, and I met Lea in the forest where he was injured from head to toe. He was on the verge of death and was unable to even maintain a human form, yet was unwilling to lie in the drain waiting for death like normal beasts, resolutely raising his head staring at one direction. I did not know what he was looking at, I just knew that gaze… was what I had seen in the reflection of the water countless times.
Elvis paused, laughed sarcastically and continued, “I don’t even know what I was thinking back then, it was just a curious coincidence that I split half of my food with him and sat with him, peacefully eating the first meal in my life accompanied. That feeling was weird, we clearly met for the first time yet it felt like we had known each other for a long time, no words were needed to understand what the other was thinking… or, it wasn’t no words, just those feelings, they can’t be expressed in languages.”
Elvis looked down at Gu Mengmeng, asking, “What are you laughing at?”
Gu Mengmeng rubbed her tummy, replying, “If it weren’t for us mating, I think I would really believe you and Lea were partners.”
Gu Mengmeng had brought up this question very long ago, Elvis furrowed his brows and sighed, “How do two males become a pair?”
Gu Mengmeng pouted, murmuring, “…, how do you love each other when you have different sexes?”
“What are you talking about?” Elvis was…”How do you love each other when you have different sexes?” They already have a child, if it isn’t love then what is?
“Nothing nothing, you continue.” Gu Mengmeng waved her arms, expressing apology for ruining the atmosphere, even though it was not even a little sincere…
Elvis did not continue, but thought if something else. He supported Gu Mengmeng’s chin, “I remember you thought this way before. The day of the Coming-To-Age Ceremony, you still treated Lea’s prayer as forcing me into adulthood, right?”
Gu Mengmeng couldn’t help but laugh out loud as she remembered Lea dressed up all weird jumping around that wooden pagoda, nodding delightedly.
“Then… Originally, among us, who did you think was attacking and who did you think was the one being attacked?”
